Utilize Objects in Dropdown List

Post by pepe »

I set up user-defined object tables. In the Tasks form, I have added an extra field of type Object. The referenced object has 2 fields: name, sorting_number. When referencing the object in the task's Dropdown, I am presented with the sorting number field but need the name field. Could you please provide advice in refering to a specific field of a reference table when used in a dropdown.
Best regards,
Pepe

hi

do you mean you use field type "Entity"? To build dropdown with this field type we use heading filed (Is Heading option for field) if exist or ID if you don't set any field as heading. To sort items in dropdown we use default report setting that you can set in View Configuration->Default Fitlers
